Candidates for Mommy Makeover

Most women who choose Mommy Makeovers are mothers in their 20s, 30s or 40s who would like to restore their pre-pregnancy appearance. Moms appreciate that this procedure can be tailored to their exact needs.

Re-think your Mommy Makeover if…

You still have small children to carry and care for

You can’t take at least 2 weeks off from work to heal

You are considering having more children

You are more than 15% over your goal weight

As with any of the procedures Dr. Smith performs, good candidates for a Mommy Makeover must be healthy and have a realistic understanding of what cosmetic surgery can achieve. Discuss your medical history with Dr. Smith so he can make sure the procedures that interest you can be performed safely with minimal risk of complications.

At your consultation, Dr. Smith is happy to discuss your personal goals and recommend a makeover plan based on your physical examination. Whether your main concerns are your body, breasts, or face, Dr. Smith will recommend procedures that can help you feel younger and more confident about your appearance.

Recovery After Mommy Makeover Surgery

Because each Mommy Makeover procedure is tailored for each individual patient’s needs, Dr. Smith will be able to tell you much more about the recovery process once you have decided on which procedures are right for you. In general, the more dramatic your transformation, the longer your recovery period will be. Dr. Smith can provide medication to minimize discomfort, but you will still need to get plenty of rest and limit strenuous activities for several weeks in most cases.

Your tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or other Mommy Makeover procedure can help you achieve the look you’ve always wanted. For optimal results, follow Dr. Smith’s pre- and post-operative instructions carefully. For instance, breast augmentation patients must take proper care of their dressings and incisions and wear a surgical support bra for several weeks to help the breasts settle in to their new shape.

Complications

The risks associated with your Mommy Makeover will depend on which procedures you have performed. After your surgery, most patients experience some level of swelling, bruising, bleeding, and discomfort. Dr. Smith makes every effort to reduce discomfort, and he minimizes scar appearance by hiding incisions when possible. If you’re concerned about a particular risk, talk with Dr. Smith in more detail.
